CRxDefence

IT security and peace of mind for the pharmacy

Data is at the centre of your pharmacy operations. Without it, your business is at risk. Increased reliance on PMR systems has raised the importance of IT security. Fire, flood, theft and vandalism can reduce your professional credibility and damage your business.

With this in mind Cegedim Rx has created CRxDefence, a data security and management module for both Pharmacy Manager and Nexphase. CRxDefence allows you to run your pharmacy, assured that your IT is in safe hands. Now is the time to ensure you minimise the risk to your business.

Why do I need CRxDefence?

Where is the safest place to store your data? In your pharmacy? In your house? In a safe? All of these are at risk from disaster, theft and fire, and from your back-up disks becoming corrupt. Why do you need on-line back-up? The safest place to store your emergency back-up is off-site and in a secure environment that is out of harm's reach. As part of your business continuity plan, the Cegedim Rx on-line back-up gives you confidence in case of an emergency. What will you do if there is a fire in your pharmacy, if your day-to-day back-up disk is lost, stolen or becomes corrupt, or if you fail to maintain your main back-up process due to your busy schedule?

CRxDefence helps you to fulfil your responsibility for data security. Used in conjunction with your existing back-up process, it provides you with peace of mind should something happen to your back-up disk. CRxDefence will also help you to comply with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society guidance on service continuity.

What is a monitored service?

The latest technology enables Cegedim Rx to monitor updates and online back-ups pro-actively to ensure you have the latest updates and the most recent back-ups available. In addition, monitored services allow the Cegedim Rx service desk to better serve your pharmacy by providing information about the program versions you are currently running and diagnostic information about the PC's themselves. In practice, this means that should you contact the service desk regarding a computer system issue you will receive quicker service and reach a faster resolution as the service desk team will have the information that they need to help you, literally at their fingertips.

How does CRxDefence work?

CRxDefence sends your fully encrypted business critical data, to a secure data centre right here within the UK. There, you can be sure that it is safe and protected and be amongst the majority of the FTSE 100 companies that use the same data centre.

In the event of an emergency, your pharmacy data will be recovered securely and reliably from the data centre within a matter of hours. Your PMR data will be readily available online, allowing your data to be restored to your systems. Cegedim Rx constantly monitors its customers' back-up dates, which means it can proactively identify potential issues to give you peace of mind. What's more, to support EPS Release 2 PMR system developments in England, CRxDefence will ensure your monthly PPA claims will also be backed up remotely, minimising the risk of your reimbursement being affected in the event of an emergency.

Your business data is critical to you and all of your customers that rely on your systems being available. Your PMR system is like an additional assistant. The cost to your business in time and inconvenience should you lose your data is huge. Imagine what it would be like to have to start rebuilding your data from scratch if you did not have any back-up disk available, or even if rebuilding your data from an old back-up disk. Be assured that for a relatively small fee, CRxDefence, a monitored service, will provide comfort and peace of mind for you, your patients and your business.
